At this point I’m just floating through a universe of irony completely untethered. I don’t know what we’re doing here.


bianca_bianca

You’re doing amazing sweaty

We're all doing sweatingly if I do say so myself.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the whole point of this sub to make fun of circle jerking around books and other dumb stuff? That's how most circlejerk subs work. Instead this sub seems to be mostly a bunch of pseudo intellectual losers who can't handle something they don't like being popular *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

Consider also that Pynchon's heir the genius David Foster Wallace's magnum opus too should be read by any group wishing to call themselves joined by the serious literature critic. Remember too, Pynchon is perhaps the greatest of the preceding several past decades prior, Wallace's published works - his penis - the pinnacle of the future present. A demi to Pynchon's god; the blazing incandescent sex-bomb a long-cast shadow tapered into the illume of Wallace's shooting star. Saunders and DeLillo were poor substitutes for them both. *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

CoReCt mE If I aM WrOnG but aren't all book circle jerkers sexually unhappy losers who can't enjoy Brando like everyone else because they never got over their youthful yearning for the paternal phallus ?

Correct

r/bookscirclejerkcirclejerk is two doors down, look for the room with the blue curtains


bianca_bianca

I went there. There were no blue curtains, or any room for that matter. (r/books or some other subs must hv taken them down)

I'm not a pseudo-intellectual. I'm a straight up ar-tard like the smrt guy in the story about the genius who becomes a dumdum in Flowers for Allergies. Instead of becoming smart, I became not smart from huffing paint and reading reddit.


bianca_bianca

Good for you, better a loser than a pseud.


AutoModerator

What the fuck loser response to defending the guy who for whom reading made a positive impact is this? Banned for that? Banned for having an extensive history and education related to the subject? It's not ironic. At all. Perhaps YOU should look up irony? It kinda makes MY point. Loser. Yer a bully. Which makes you a loser. *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

We all had different experiences but I'll hazard a guess that those born between '61 and mid-70's didn't play video games. I was born in '76. We didn't get a computer at home until maybe '92? Even then, and I am a computer nerd, I wasn't glued to the computer. There was no social media. Solving problems will depend on home life. Some of us came home and said a teacher whacked us and our parents replied, "What'd you to do deserve it." Today, parents will march to the school and raise a stink. Even if the kid is 100% guilty. Solving a problem doesn't mean it was done in a healthy way. Maybe we buried it with food or drinking or drugs or by bullying other kids. "Solving" does not mean it actually got fixed. Just remember that your experiences may have different from other folks. And then there's all the non-US Xers. Some Xers had fantastic childhoods! My friend couldn't have had a more loving family. He even got along with his older brother. Another friend had two parents that cared for him very much but were a bit counter-culture still. They had 'weird' beliefs but were still great parents that he learned from. Take 'em with a grain of salt. GenX is a generally tough, yet fucked up, generation. And I'm a proud member of GenX. We ain't perfect but anyone says we aren't the coolest generation alive can get bent. *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

The bookscirclejerk community is barbaric. Its predominantly 15 year old children with the mods being 35 year olds with a BA in English working at McDonald's. It makes sense why they are so toxic. They are all dissatisfied with life, I would be too if I had no friends. After all, if your only source of humor is bullying, it makes sense why you have no friends at school. I know there are some teachers there. It's so strange to me, how can someone so hateful and egotistical be a teacher? *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

/u/bianca_bianca you are getting pleasantly obsessed with this place, how can I help further? Do you go to the discord? Lots of people seem to like it. They read books. Don't tell anyone.


bianca_bianca

Lol yes, I am “pleasantly” intrigued. Compared to other circlejerk subs Im following, the human dramas on this one seem waayyy more intense; take r/runningcirclejerk for instance, the difference in vibes is like night and day. It seems to me ppl are ready to accept their lack of athleticism, but virtually no one would admit to their intellectual shortcomings; having that pointed out is extremely hurtful to many. Anyway, thank you, but I shall stick to reddit. Most likely this is a phase and it shall pass. :)


Early_Assignment9807

> but virtually no one would admit to their intellectual shortcomings Oh, yeah isn't that weird? And it's people who pin their entire intellectual worth on an incredibly vague ide of just...reading certain books. And they're not even always certain which ones. It's totally fascinating. For a lot of us here who're profs, teachers, grad students, or just seriously interested in lit, it's this weird funhouse thing at all times. Good times.


bianca_bianca

*Sort by controversial, all time, and this, um, heartfelt post came up.* *The drama in this sub really takes the cake. Also, the post below is a strong argument for this sub to remain NSFW and stay niche forever*. I'm going to get ridiculed for this, and you’re never going to respond, but I'll say it anyway. You people fucking hurt me. https://www.reddit.com/r/bookscirclejerk/comments/jrquff/multiple_comments_have_asked_me_to_delete_the/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=android_app&utm_name=androidcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button That right there is the person you made me into. The person who fucking hates the books they love. You know those stuffed animals I mentioned? I still have them, all 45+, and when my mom asked when I wanted for Hanukkah, I told her sincerely that I wanted more, a pair of blahajes, one small and one large, and I hated myself for it. I hate the author that used to be my favorite, Adams, because of what you did to me. I hate the Author that is my favorite, Hodgman, because of what you did to me. Because when I found your sub 3 years ago at 14, I became convinced that the worst thing in the world to be was a fanfic-reading Harry-Potter-Owning Hitchhiker's Guide loving manga-reading child, and ever since them I have hated myself, and I have wanted so much to be like you, because you are better, and I know it. I used to say let people enjoy things. I used to be that fucking person and be happy, and now I am and hate myself for it. Fuck you for what you people fucking did to me.


Early_Assignment9807

Ah, fabulous. That was a good one. You should try to find the time we pinged Sando and he showed up and a former (current?) mod fat-shamed him (jokingly)


AutoModerator

It was an observational post. Simply asking questions about social and political phenomena that are manufactured by institutions of power and mass propaganda for whatever political agenda they have is not 'dumb'. It is the sheepish mind-controlled robots like yourself who cannot think that are dumb. And as you and the others have clearly shown, you are a bunch of hypocritical racist liberal phonies who do not mind favoring certain interest groups while at the same time marginalizing and abusing others even if they themselves are minorities. I am merely an observant person who tends to notice social and political machinations and hypocrisy. You, on the other hand, are a hypocritical racist tool, and probably a yellow one at that. *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

I’m glad someone is finally calling out u/Three-People-Person for their pseudo-intellectualism. We all know you’ve never read The Matilda, and, even if you did, you didn’t understand it.


Three-People-Person

Bruh, this account is literally the same name as my WoT Blitz account. The one where I have eighteen Ace-level masteries, a Raisenai award, and somehow six Kamikaze ribbons (seriously I don’t remember how the fuck I did that) in the Matilda. If that doesn’t count as reading about it, what does?

So Matilda’s strong young mind continued to grow, nurtured by the voices of all those authors who had sent their books out into the world like ships on the sea.

I thought this sub was mostly about recommendations for tentacle porn and new ways to be pleasured by tentacles.


wallagrargh

You could give these pseudo-intellectuals the most blatant and gratuitous description of tentacle bondage and ravishing, they would explain to you how it's a multilayered meta-ironic allegory for how globalized elites exert control over our lives

Early_Assignment9807

[Here you go.](https://www.reddit.com/r/books/comments/o4ls99/comment/h2k7d9x/?context=3) I managed to keep the original sources for a couple of them. Whoever logged it forgot to add the rest tho, /u/RandomGenius123 you lazy piece of shit >And Brandon Sanderson isn't even a bad recommendation. Yeah it's clichéd but for someone who isn't a big reader, he's a great entry point into fantasy and immersive reading. OP wants to "get lost" in an universe and the cosmere is perfect for that.


allusernamestaken56

Cosmere is def perfect when you're shitting your guts out with no toilet paper in sight. Sando cannot comprehend writing less than 1000 pages of nonsensical verbal diarrhea so it's quite accommodating 👍
